Dear OpenJUMP Users and Developers,
the OpenJUMP GIS core developer team is proud to announce the release of
OpenJUMP 1.3.
This version has *better editing capabilities*, so the user is able to:
* faster digitise polygons due to the new Auto-complete Polygon tool,
* mark points of interest with the new Note Tool,
* simplify polygon coverages without creating slivers between adjacent
polygons,
* compare different editing versions with the new Synchronize function
that allows synchronized panning and zooming between two map windows
that show different data,
* set attributes of a layer in a batch style using the improved
Auto-Assign Attributes function,
* connect or extend existing line geometries when editing with the line
tool.
OpenJUMP 1.3 has also *new analysis functions* that allows to:
* retrieve attribute statistics (min, max, mean, etc.) for the
attributes of a layer,
* display maps using different data classification/colour theming methods
(e.g. Jenks-breaks method or maximal-breaks method),
* more easily find certain values with the "Search All Attributes" function,
* perform raster image analysis with Sextante directly. I.e. raster
layers can be
loaded in OpenJUMP and analysed with Sextante.
* create multi-buffers with the Multi-Ring-Buffer function.
Two more additions are of interest for our advanced users that like to
customize OpenJUMP for their purposes. First, OpenJUMP 1.3 supports
Python, i.e. Jython. This will be the third option to develop and add
own functionality (besides BeanShell scripts and Java PlugIns). Several
Python script examples are delivered with OpenJUMP 1.3 The second
improvement has been the introduction of default-plugins.xml file. This
files allows to define which functions (especially from the Tools menu)
should be available when OpenJUMP is started.
